Let It Snow {Lavinia World #44}

A new Lavinia World Challenges #44 begins today. The winner will receive a $15 gift code to Lavinia World  and the theme is always use any stamped image (but no digis). 

For today's snowy card, I used the following products:

Lavinia stamps: Fir Tree

Lavinia stamps: Wild Hares, small set

Lavinia stamps: Pipin Mini

Lavinia stamps: Snowflakes

Tutti Designs: Slimline Stitched Scalloped Rectangles

Distress Oxide: Tumbled Glass

Fairy Hugs Premium Pigment Ink Pad: Raven

Versafine Clair: Rain Forest

Fairy Hugs Glitter Powder: Pixie Dust

I also used Nuvo Crystal Drops (Violet Galaxy, Rhubarb Crumble, Dandelion Yellow) for the ornaments in the tree and my die cut sentiment is by Tonic Studios (Let It Snow).

I had seen quite a few of this general design over the Christmas holidays and I wanted to give it a try too. To start out, I die cut the white cardstock and  blue matting using the Tutti Designs slimline die. 

I then tore a piece of scrap paper to create a few snow drifts using Distress Oxide and a blending brush. I used a light touch for the snow drifts as I didn't want them to overpower the rest of the scene.

Once I was happy with the snow drifts, I stamped the Fir Tree using the Rain Forest ink pad.  After stamping, I added clear embossing powder and heat set it.

Next came time to place the bunnies. I used the backing sheets that come with the stamps to get a general idea where I wanted them. Since I wasn't using a stamp positioner for the bunnies, I reached for the Fairy Hugs Raven ink.  I almost always get a nice clear, dark impression on the first go around when using this ink pad.

I randomly stamped my falling snow using each of the stamps in the set and then added a dot of Pixie Dust glitter to the center of each snowflake. The Nuvo Drops were added next and then I set aside the project to dry while I die cut my sentiment out of two different colors of blue cardstock.  I offset the two layers to give the top layer a bit of a shadow.

Once everything was dry, I adhered the sentiment to the focal panel and then adhered everything to my white card stock base.
